Zhou Tianhao was overwhelmed with excitement as he watched Xiao Churan drink the tea.


Now, all he had to do was wait for the drug to take effect.


After finishing the tea, Xiao Churan immediately felt something was off.


Her head was spinning and getting heavier.


What was going on?


A wave of panic surged through her heart.


Could it be that Zhou Tianhao drugged her?!


The thought sent a shiver down her spine.


She tried to stand up but realized that her legs had gone weak.


Escape seemed impossible.


Realizing she only had a few moments before losing consciousness, she quickly opened WeChat, found Ye Chen’s chat, and pressed the voice message button.


At the same time, she turned to Zhou Tianhao and asked, “Mr. Zhou, I’m feeling dizzy. There’s nothing wrong with this tea, is there?”


Zhou Tianhao laughed heartily and said, “Of course not! This is premium Biluochun tea, over 10,000 yuan per kilogram! It’s top-quality! Miss Xiao, would you like another cup?”


Xiao Churan shook her head and said, “No, I’m not feeling well. Mr. Zhou, could you please have someone escort me out?”


Zhou Tianhao grinned slyly, shifting from his seat to move closer to her.


He stared at her delicate face, the tension in her eyes, and her shrinking posture. His intentions were clear as day.


“Miss Xiao,” he chuckled, “everyone in Jinling says you’re the most beautiful woman in the city. Now that I see you up close, I must say, they were absolutely right! I admire you greatly!”


Seeing him moving closer, Xiao Churan tried to scoot away, shaking her head in disgust. “Mr. Zhou, please stay away from me.”


Zhou Tianhao smirked, “Why the cold shoulder, Miss Xiao? We’re business partners, there’s no harm in getting a little closer, is there?”


With that, he shifted closer, nearly pressing against her.


Xiao Churan tried to move further away, but she had already reached the edge of the couch.


With nowhere to go, she curled up, trying to keep distance from him.


Zhou Tianhao continued advancing, his hungry gaze sweeping over her.


It was obvious what he wanted.


Xiao Churan’s dizzying head grew heavier, and her hand slipped, accidentally sending the WeChat voice message to Ye Chen.


At that moment, Ye Chen was at home, casually doing house chores.


Hearing the notification, he instinctively opened the voice message—and the moment he heard Xiao Churan’s trembling voice, his veins bulged with fury!


Damn it!


This bastard Zhou Tianhao dared to lay hands on his wife?


He was courting death!


Without hesitation, Ye Chen grabbed his phone and dialed Chen Zekai.


His voice was ice cold. “Gather every available man and head to Tianhao Building Materials. I want that place leveled to the ground tonight!”


Chen Zekai was shocked. “Young Master, what happened? Zhou Tianhao’s wife is from a small clan that follows us. If we destroy Tianhao Building Materials, it might cause unrest among the lower-tier families.”


Ye Chen’s voice turned colder. “Zhou Tianhao tried to violate my wife. Do you still think this is ‘rash’? HMM?”


Chen Zekai immediately stiffened.


He thought Zhou Tianhao had simply offended Young Master Ye, but daring to lay hands on the Young Madam?


That was unforgivable.


A crime punishable by death.


“Understood, Young Master! I’ll deploy our forces immediately!”


“Good! I’m on my way there now!”


Chen Zekai quickly added, “Young Master, I’ll send a helicopter to pick you up—it’ll be faster!”


“Do it!”


A few moments later, a massive black helicopter roared into the sky.


Inside, Chen Zekai sat grim-faced, flanked by ten elite black-clad bodyguards.


His eyes were dark and murderous.


How dare someone in Jinling try to assault the Young Madam?


This was unforgivable.


The helicopter raced through the air, swiftly reaching Ye Chen’s rooftop.


Ye Chen ran up the stairs, climbed aboard, and shouted—


“Fly at full speed to Tianhao Building Materials!”


Meanwhile, at Tianhao Building Materials


Zhou Tianhao, seeing Xiao Churan unable to resist, laughed in triumph.


His hands reached for her collar, preparing to strip her.


But just as he was about to act, the office doors suddenly burst open!


BANG!


A fierce-looking, ugly woman stormed in with several burly bodyguards.


Seeing Zhou Tianhao hovering over Xiao Churan, her rage exploded.


“Zhou Tianhao!” she roared. “You’re cheating on me?!”


Zhou Tianhao froze in terror.


His wife?!


How did this yellow-faced hag find out?


He never realized that his entire staff had long been bribed by his wife.


The moment Xiao Churan entered his office, his wife was informed.


Her hatred for beautiful women was deep-seated, and knowing Xiao Churan’s reputation, she rushed over immediately.


And now, seeing her husband about to violate another woman, her jealousy turned into murderous fury.


Zhou Tianhao, shaking in fear, begged—


“Wife! Please, listen to me! It’s not what it looks like! She seduced me!”


His ugly wife took one look at Xiao Churan, her messy hair, her flushed face, and her disheveled clothes—and boiled with rage.


“You shameless bitch!” she screamed, her face contorting with hatred. “You dared to seduce my husband?! I’ll kill you today!”


She turned to her bodyguards and shouted, “Grab both of them!”


The bodyguards rushed forward, locking Zhou Tianhao and Xiao Churan in place.


The ugly woman stormed toward Zhou Tianhao, raising her hand—


SLAP!


A hard slap landed on his face.


SLAP! SLAP! SLAP!


Several more slaps followed, each harder than the last.


“You bastard! Without my family, you’d still be a worthless piece of trash! And now, you have the audacity to cheat on me?!”


Zhou Tianhao screamed in pain, tears streaming down his face.


“Wife, it’s not my fault! It’s her! It’s Xiao Churan! She threw herself at me!”


His wife’s eyes burned with fury. “Tell me everything—NOW!”


Zhou Tianhao quickly fabricated a lie—


“Xiao Churan came to me because her family was out of money. She begged me to give her building materials on credit. Since we never give credit, she offered herself to me in exchange!”


His wife’s eyes widened in rage. “So, you were just about to sleep with her?”


“No, no! I swear nothing happened!”


His wife, seething, turned to Xiao Churan, eyes flashing with hatred.


She raised her hand, slapping Xiao Churan hard.


“You filthy whore! You dare seduce my husband? I’ll ruin your pretty face!”
